Spencer Patterson of Las Vegas Weekly posed three questions to Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead, including whether the New York indie rock act’s latest album ’23’ would edge the band toward a larger listening base. “I’ve stopped trusting myself in that aspect, because since, maybe, the second album [‘La Mia Vita Violenta’] I’ve always thought we made the most accessible record [laughs], but nobody ever agreed with me,” the singer said. “So I think my judgment is totally crooked. I’ve always thought, ‘I could hear this in the supermarket or in an elevator,’ and people will be like, ‘What? You’re so out there.’ But that’s how I feel about it. We’re certainly not trying to play music that’s hard to understand or experimental. I want to be really genuine.” The transcript at lasvegasweekly.com has since been removed.

Lisa Ling of ABC News Now interviewed the guys from Blonde Redhead at Lollapalooza 2007, where they talked about life on tour going, what country they consider home given their transient upbringing, the reviews for ’23’ and the significance of the number, their fantasy sound, and more. Watch the interview, posted Tuesday (August 21), at abcnews.go.com.

The end result of Blonde Redhead’s latest effort ‘Misery is a Butterfly’ is something of a mystery even to the band. “It’s hard to say what influenced us for this album specifically because it’s so vast,” bassist Simone Pace tells Cincinnati CityBeat. “We were listening to Sigur Rós and some Cure records. It was a mix of things. We always want to do something different with every album, but this came pretty natural. It is a natural process we go through even though it’s very difficult, but I think there are other things to take into account whether the album is more dark or sad or lively or aggressive. We always think, ‘We’ve done this and this and this … let’s do something else.’ At the end, it’s really hard to fight what comes out of you. You don’t really have a choice. You just have to accept it. Even if you pretend to sound like somebody else or say, ‘Oh, God, I wish we wrote that song … can’t we write a song like that?’ It never works. You is always you. You may get fed up with you, but I think we did alright.”
